Yeah that was a great chat. I think that if we chat like this until the exam, we will definately get a lot done. I'm going to try to see that website I was on yesterday dealing with podcasts. See everyone later!

I'm sorry again that my...uh...chat client kept crashing on me I've downloaded a new one (Adium) so hopefully it will work better...Could someone post the name of the chat room tomorrow before the group starts?? This program doesn't have a search option...I just have to enter the name of the group I want to join. Thanks!

Sorry for not paying attention to the lesson. I knew of the reading くち and that in certain cases it changes to ぐち, but I did not know whether that was 音読みor 訓読み.

I would prefer to learn kanji the way I have been doing, so I am really only in the group for discussion purposes. I usually follow the information on http://japanese.about.com/ unless I cannot find a kanji on there, in which case I would use The Learner’s Kanji Dictionary. So even though I have not done 口 and 車 yet, I will do them at some point and in the way have been doing the others.

I hope you do not mind that.

I thought I would show a bit of what I have done.

Top: Bottom:

This is from my little book.

無人島≠ﾞじんとう。岩≠｢わ。石≠｢し。山桜≠竄ﾜざくら。桜花≠ｨうか。

For homework everyone is to try and do pages 4, 5, 6. That means, practice the 10 kanji we went over in the chat.

I shall not do this if that is all right.

If i shouldn't put the pages here please tell so i can take them out.

If you plan to scan any more pages for future study, I would recommend that you do not post them here. Please keep them for the chat only.

I don't mind at all, don't know about the others though, but i don't think anyone would mind really. But you could have said that and we would have skipped you. And (i think) we were just trying out the method last time. Not sure we'll always do like this.

And yeah, if people want me too, i will scan more pages. And you're right, i will not put anymore in here, though it's kinda the same as giving them in the chat.
And it would also make things a lot easier for me, since i can just post them here and people come get them before the chat. It's kinda a bother to have to have the upload link page always open to give people the links.

sei, perhaps, if we can't post them here (which may well be the case), we could set up a friend locked livejournal account of something, where we could all put up resources from the books we're using? I agree, having just the links posted again and again in the chat was a little awkward.

I apologize to everyone that i couldn't pay attention to the chat today.

I've been since 3.30pm till just now (12 am) working on a project, non-stop. So i couldn't really focus on the chat as i was trying to finish the project. And my head wasn't working so well either, it was hard to try to go back an forth from talking with my teacher, my collegues on the project and be on the chat at the same time.

So i apologize for that. Next time i'm sure i can give my full attention to it.
